BCCDC’s Environmental Health Services team is currently building a mobile-friendly online platform for BC residents to share user-submitted images, stories and other personal accounts on the health impacts of climate change. Users will be able to share and explore stories – both thematically and geographically – in a user-friendly way.

We are getting ready to undergo brand and website development and would like to engage members of the public in the discovery and design process. We are seeking a diverse group of participants from both rural and urban areas across BC. It would involve 2-3 virtual meetings to participate in the co-creation of the online platform. The meetings will be facilitated jointly by BCCDC staff and the web and brand development firm.
